The duality of scars

Growing up in a Jewish community, Talia was expected to conform. The path she would follow was clear: a good education, marriage and children. When she began questioning her sexuality and her faith in God, this path disappeared; disapproval, ostracism and bullying appeared in its place. Years of despair and destructive behaviour eventually gave way to acceptance and the discovery of a new path, embracing both her faith and her sexuality.
